TO FIGHT FOR MILEAGE TICKETS.
Chicago Merchants Preparing for a
Struggle Against the Railroads.

StEUKKAc AKxAAAaOS SBhO AHS1AAA VG1&Os
CHICAGO, April 27.-C. N. Wicker, commissioner
Of the Chicago freight bureau, has addressed John
n Abbott chairman of the western, Northwest
ern and southwestern passenger associations, re-
QueSting that the roads he represented restore to
the commercial public some form OF mileage ticket
that can be used by the travelling representatives
OF Chicago houses, and furnish such a ticket at
net two cents per mile. Mr.. Wicker states that
while the legal advisers OF the railway corpora
tions may construe the interstate commerce law
commercial travellers, the legal advisers OF the
Camille houses OF Chicago do not
SO construe it. The law, they believe, admits Of
reasonable and just discrimination, prohibiting
only unjust discrimination. The address con-
tinues: In case the roads you represent do not re-
cede from your present position our course will be
to submit TO the Commission, or more likely to the
o. Court, affidavitS that some road in your asso-
S25 and in view OF the fact that during the last
ffteen years similar service has been rendered at
$l5 and in other instances at $40. claim the price
now imposed to be in violation OF section one OF
the Interstate commerce law. We shall
bring an officer OF the defendants road to
proveIf he teStffeS truthfully-that practically
- out of every so mileage tickets sold In the past
have netted the road not to exceed two cents per
mile, and in many instances less, together with
much other Information that will tend to convince
the Commission or the court that two cents per
mule is a liberal rate for the service performed
Our representatives will also plead that In the
event OF the Commission or court not cOinciding
in this view that the ruling OF the Commission, or
the decision OF the court, be that two cents per
mile Is Just and equitable rate for all thousand
mile tickets that shall be sold by the defendant"

CHAMBERLAIN AND PARNELL.
Interesting Facts AbOut Their ReIa.
tiOns at the Time Of the PhGnix Park

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April 27.-I have received two pieces OF
information about Mr.. Chamberlain which throw
more light upon that gentleman's political char
acter. First, well-known politician, no longer
living, called on Parnen on the day OF the an
nouncement OF the Phoenix Park murders and
found him closeted with no other person than
Chamberlain. The inference which this gentle
man drew was that Chamberlain helped to write
the celebrated reputation OF the murders, signed
by Parnell, Dillon, and Davitt. Second IT was
owing TO the advice OF Chamberlain that O'Shea
and Parneu consented to reconsider their deter
mination to withdraw from public life at this time
MY informant is the widow OF the politician in the
first case. In the second have an equally good
authority. Labouchere. with characteristic au-
dacity, has
TURNED THE TABLES ON THE 'nMfs"
by language in public which Will compel It to
bring suit against him on the same doctrine OF the
duty OF challenging uhels by legal proceedings,
which It daily casts in Parnell's teeth. At Chis-
wick last night he asserted ''that that journal
some time ago found its circulation going down,
and, seeking for sensation, bought this letter
from some miserable scamp, who had forged or
stolen the signature OF Parnell BY this sensation
the Times hoped 70 increase its circulation"
